What kind of text?

You don't say what kind of text you're wanting to align.

If you mean from the Chart.DrawText method, here's an example for you:

 ChartText ct = Chart.DrawText("position" + index, "hello world", entryPrice, textLocation, lineColor);
 ct.IsBold = true;
 ct.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
 ct.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
 ct.ZIndex = 15; //So it's above other objects on the chart and we can see it.

Thank you for your quick response. This is exactly what i wanted to do with DrawText.

That might be because newbies like me don't have a clue what kind of Text are out there, and coming from other programming languages the immediate practice is, it should not matter, it is Text at the end.

The documentation is lacking, badly organized and probably not maintained, I get constant warnings for obsolete methods when copying examples from the documentation.

This forum post was the single answer to my question as well, otherwise I would not even imagine that half of the properties for Text object is defined with the DrawText method and other half is defined on the base class properties. This is not just ugly, it makes the learning curve extremely steep. 

Thanks for the info!

Hey Panagiotis,

I found a lot of examples that referred to MarketSeries to which I got a warning at build time that it is obsolete.

Thank you
